I know Roboxotine for me would
be pure poison, even a cup of
coffee takes me over the edge,but for some with hypersommnia
I can see it working, Was it
'not approvable' because
of Side effects or what ?Linkadge

Don't remember. I ordered some from somewhere, took it w/ my pdoc's blessing, and thought my heart would explode. Happy I started at 1/2 the recommended amount. I stopped after 2 days.
I called the FDA on Rebox to find out what I could a few years ago. The guy that answered the phone said, "You know these kinda drugs aren't any better than placebo's."It was late so I was hoping he was with maintenance or housekeeping.

What a dween,
From what I understand there are people
out there who are very anti - antidepressant.
I think they are kind of depressed themselves.Linkadge
For those who have been helped by these
drugs, it's not even a question.

I took it for 6 month on 8mg. This Medication really did harm me. My depression got worse, suicidal thought, ...
But I did not quit, because I thought it would get even more worse without it.
I also know 2 persons personally who have taken it. For both it did make them feel bad.I personally would even say i got a little psychotic on Reboxetine (although I did drink a lot of beer these days to get some sleep at all). I had so many strange thoughts etc. My Parents now told me that they were really concerned about me, because I got really "strange" on this drug.

It seems to me that people who respond
to this drug do not actually have traditional
depresion, in the sence of the illness.
They may have cronic fatigue syndrome,
mental retardation, or something to this
respect, but I can't see many people responding
to just Norepinephrtine. In the history of
trycyclics, the drugs that elicited the best
responce, were the ones that had a high ratio
of serotonin to norepinephrine reputake,
Overweight people tend to respond better to
the reverse ratio, but not always. I think
Norepiniephrine is more - I feel dumb, I feel lazy I am bored, life is not exciting type of depression while seretonin is more, why can't I relax, I wan't this to end, why is that so sad, type.Effexor worked for me, but the side effects of anxiety and heart rate increase were to much, I also found it too activating, there needs to be a way of fine tuning the neurotransmitters.

ADD also has alot to do with Norepinephrtine.
